Modern Hero - SKELE-CON

I've been professionally illustrating and designing toys for over 13 years. Over my career I've worked with clients such as Kidrobot, YUM Brands, Pepsi, Scion, NFL, Upper Deck, Mattel, Spinmasters Toys, and Cartoon Network on a variety of todays hottest and largest brands. Collaborating on projects ranging from promotions to packaging, character design to retail and premium toys. I've worked non-stop on my own licensed artwork and toy brands under the “MAD Toy Design” label for the past 7 years. My first production figure line called the MAD*L™ has been one of the hottest brands on the collector market since it first released in 2004 and continues to fly off the shelves globally with each new release. I keep a full arsenal of new products in development at all times ranging from toys, tee's, prints, and more.Created in 2006 as a manufacturing resource for artists and small companies, SOLID Industries, Inc. is a one-stop shop for getting high quality, limited edition products manufactured and delivered. Founded by Jeremy Madl (aka MAD) the company serves as a means to product a variety of his own products, but also as a service to his friends and commercial clients. SOLID allows him to not only offer the design and development end of a project, but the project management and manufacturing side as well. Going from a concept sketch all the way to a final product on a shelf is now possible. SOLID is also a work for hire resource, if a design is already done and is looking to be taken to the next level SOLID can help. Already working with several different clients on a variety of projects, we work one on one with each client to assure their input is injected throughout the process. The end result being a solid project that reflects the passion and hard work of all who helped bring it to market.Scott Wetterschneider is a talented sculptor and designer who has worked on dozens of designer toys.About October 10 - 13, 2013 Javits Center | NYC NYCC is the second largest pop culture convention in America and the only one that takes place in the comic book, publishing, media, and licensing capital of the world -- Gotham City.
